Latest figures show that a growing number of employers have reported increased productivity from their staff after embracing home and hybrid working.
New research from the CIPD revealed that in December 2020, 33% of employers said homeworking had increased their organisation’s productivity or efficiency. When asked again about increased home/hybrid working in October/November 2021, this figure rose to 41%.
Claire McCartney, senior policy adviser for resourcing and inclusion at the CIPD, said, “It’s great that many employers are embracing the benefits of more hybrid and flexible ways of working. However, it’s really important that they work collaboratively with employees to find solutions that work for both the organisation and individuals. This is a crucial moment for flexible working, but a mismatch on expectations and an adhoc approach could set back progress.

Employers who listen and are open to testing, learning and adapting will benefit from a more diverse workforce and the ability to retain and attract a wide range of talent. This is particularly crucial at a time where the labour market is so tight.
“Everyone should have the chance to benefit from more choice about when, where and how they work. This can lead to increased wellbeing and engagement, and enhanced performance, all of which can lead to the productivity gains many employers are reporting.”
